The “Thru Email” function in salesforce.com allows emails to be composed and files or folders attached with an option of adding a secure message, directly integrated in the salesforce.com user interface.

The “Thru Audit” functionality in salesforce.com provides a direct link to legal-grade audit records that are associated with individual files, folders and messages.
